prenatal vitamins

So my obgyn told me to quit taking my prenatal vitamins because of my nausea. He told me to take Flintstones chewable tablets. I'm not a huge fan of stopping the prenatal. I've been on it before I was prego for a good 5 months. Any opinions?

I had the same problem and at the moment im taking the flintstones and my doctor just recently told me to also start taking some folic acid pills its pretty much the same ingredients so baby will be fine.

I take a gummy prenatal, its called 'vitafusion prenatal' they taste like candy just a lil less sweet, I didn't even take a prenatal with ny first cuz I couldn't swallow em and didn't know about these but now i take em everyday and have since I found out i was preg, I'm 34+2, also, you eat 2 a day, which I take em both at the same time and they don't hurt my stomach or anything

Itook Flintstones with my first two and my doc was perfectly fine with it. This pregnancy I have a different doc and he said they're ok but he'd rather me take the chewable prenatal ones.

Yup you can take them in place of your prenatals. I think they also have chewable prenatals

My doc told me if i got too nauseous to just take folic acid. Maybe take the flinstones and pure folic acid? The fa is really what baby needs.
